VIVID CONTRAST.
Republican We. Democratic Policy.

Republican We. Democratic Policy.
To The Editor Of he Register.
Shallow the Lincoln Club runs the
city, and how the Jefferson Club don't
run the county:
Mr.. ]. Speidel, Lincoln Club man,
having concluded to resign his place on
the f. and p. Board, gave notice to the
Club of his intention so to do. AT once the
Secretary of the Club, Allison, of the Sec
ond Branch, and the General Manager,
Dobbins, of the First Branch, gave notice
TO ''the faithfuP' that, owing to the bad
odor arising from their caucus in the gar
ret of the club house, a consultation would
be held at the Office of the Secretary.
Wolf was then selected to fill Speidel's
shoes, and every one Of the faithful, in
person or by messenger was pledged to his
support. When Council met, and ballot
was taken, the Eighth ward was on hand
with its own candidate. The Lincoln
Club men were equal to the occasion. In
their wrath at this breach Of discipline
they kicked Pipes and his hackers out Of
their presence, and elected the caucus
nominee. This was good party politics.
Now for our fellows. A coroner was to
be chosen for the ensuing term of two
years by the Board Of County Commission
ers. The election was put OIL as long as
possible. When forced to 90 into an cleo
ton this Board, composed Of seven 90
Democrats and three (3) Republicans, Sc
lected for coroner one OF the most uncOm-
promising, bitter radicals in Ohio county.
In doing this they refused to recognize the
claims of Esquires Davis, Philips and Ar
kle and DR.. HOge-fOur men of as good
moral character as any four men in the
county, and whose Democracy had no stain
on it.
The Coroner-elect was one Of the three
men who composed the old County Board
of Registration, and not one of the Demo-
Gratis who assisted in electing him
Coroner, would have vote
now, if the policy be advocated
there was still in force. StOker's vote for
him might be excused, as he represents the
Coroner's district, which is strongly Re
publican, and he was pledged TO aid the
Coroner in the event Of his being chosen
Commissioner.
for voting as they did. They represent
Centre and Triadelphia districts, two Of
the stsunchest Democratic strongholds in
our county and their action is not ap-
proved of by the people who sent them to
the County Board. Had this man they
elected been candidate before the people
for the Office of Coroner, their districts
would have given the largest majorities in
the county against him, next to Webster.
This action of the Commissioners was bad
politics, a sort of derned fool Dan Lucas
work. Would it not he q God send to our
county Democracy if we had a general
manager in that body like the Radicals
have in Council? P.B.P.
